"Now, in your letter you claimed to have just returned from an expedition to another world, where you had been carrying out studies into local mythology and folk-tales--"

The man sitting on the other side of the desk grinned at that, tanned skin settling into comfortable crows-feet around his eyes and mouth. "I did, yes. Did you have a question?"

"I--well, yes. The level of detail you've included in these myths and in your cover note is strictly incredible. What on earth inspired you to take this angle on your work?"

"Honestly? I woke up one morning and it was just there"I see. Do you have any more? The submission was a little overlength for our anthologies, but underlength for an independent publication.." the editor trailed off, a little curious as the smile lines deepened

Nah, he's being a gleeful shit and getting published as an author; he did this four or five times over the course of his career, in addition to the stuff that just came out of his head. Had to start over every so often with new publishers/worlds because they expected him to have normal-human lifespan, but he seemed to really enjoy it.

(I'm reasonably sure the Russian Devil banging around in the back of my head is, in fact, his.)
